Next up is probably NOS4A2 by Joe Hill or maybe The Wizard of Oz, which I have been considering since April's "Classics" month in the book club, I have a few hours to decide. Edit: April, not December, although I had been considering it before that. Last edited by Dazrin; 06-17-2014 at 06:46 PM. Reason: I are dumb. |

On Monday I've started 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. In the first twelve hours I've already read 41% of the book, which is quite unusual for me.

Good going samhy! I've just finished A Symphony of Echoes by Jodi Taylor (#2 in the Chronicles of St. Mary's series), which was just as good as #1, and am contemplating whether to go straight on to the next one, A Second Chance, or pace myself and read something else first. Decisions decisions.

Next up, A Mighty Fortress, book #4 in the Safehold series from David Weber. I'm doing a combined audio/eBook read of this. |

Almost halfway through Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. Didn't like it at first, but I'm liking it better now as I'm getting more interested in the characters. Not his usual horror type of book, it's more of a mystery.

Two Canadian mystery authors I have been enjoying recently are Jack Batten - Crang and Howard Engel - Benny Cooperman. Not Urban Fantasy, sort of medium boiled detective. I think you would like them. Helen |

Just finished "Crooked House" by Agatha Christie. This was her 48th book, and was originally published in 1949.

If suicide isn't a blacklisted topic for you, I highly recommend this book. Quote:
I hope the issue with #2 at Kobo will be over soon. It doesn't cast a good light on Kobo, Jodi Taylor nor Accent Press |

I just finished Custer at the Alamo by Gregory Urbach. I looked at the description and thought why not. I was pleasantly surprised at how well written the book is. The attention to historical detail was spot on. The characters came across as very human. I would rate it at least 4 stars for a good story even if the premise is fantasy. If you like historical fiction give it a try.

I just broke down and bought #4 in the series (Broken Homes), which gives me incentive to finish off this current Safehold monstrosity so I can get back to Peter Grant and the other characters in these Rivers of London books. |
